Australia, Melbourne COUNTRY INFORMATION - AUSTRALIA - VICTORIA
COUNTRY INFORMATION - AUSTRALIA - VICTORIA.
Location
Victoria is Australia’s most diverse state and its major agricultural and industrial producer. Located in the southeast, bordered by South Australia and New South Wales, its landscape consists of mountains, rainforests, deserts, snowfields, beaches, vineyards, wheatlands and market gardens. The Australian Alps are only 3 hours away from Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road to South Australia is a day’s drive. Victoria has 32 national parks, amounting to a third of Australia’s total.
Places To Go And See
Melbourne is a highly cosmopolitan city of over 3 million people with sizeable Italian and Greek minorities. Located in Carlton Gardens on the northern edge of the city centre, the ultramodern Melbourne Museum is Australia’s largest museum. Its features include a living Forest Gallery, Aboriginal Centre, Children’s Museum and IMAX Theatre. The chilling Old Melbourne Gaol has Ned Kelly’s armour on display. Opened in 2002, the National Gallery of Victoria: St Kilda Road houses Australia’s greatest collection of international fine art. The NGV: Australian Art is one of the attractions of Federation Square, a new city block devoted to culture. Rialto Towers Observation Deck offers panoramic views of the city and surrounds. Other places to visit include the Royal Botanical Gardens, Parliament House, the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the vibrant beachside esplanade in St Kilda. Also recommended are a trip to the races, a ride in one of Melbourne’s trams, a river cruise down the River Yarra, or a visit to the Melbourne Zoo, with its intricately recreated animal habitats.
22 miles from the State capital are the Dandenong Ranges, which provide excellent views of the city over the peaks from the Summit Lookout. At Mount Dandenong itself is the sanctuary named after William Ricketts, one of the early champions of Aboriginal rights. His haunting carvings of Aboriginal faces still stare out over the forested landscape and are part of the Galeena Beek Aboriginal Culture Centre. Victoria was also the home of the outlaw Ned Kelly, often regarded as a national hero in Australia, and was the scene of the eventful days of bushranging during the gold rush of the 1850s and 1860s. Sovereign Hill, 75 miles northwest of Melbourne, is an old gold-rush town from this period, now restored to its original condition. Other towns of this era are Ballarat and Bendigo, respectively 71 miles and 93 miles from Melbourne. Nostalgia is also available in the shape of ‘Puffing Billy’, a train of bright red carriages, which runs along from Belgrave to Gembrook through the Dandenong Ranges. In the east of the State is Gippsland Lakes, a lush fertile region dotted with lakes and parkland. The west is drier, with huge sheep-grazing lands. Towards the centre are the Grampian Mountains, famous for wild flowers, birdlife and offering some of the worlds finest rock climbing. Victoria is also home to Brambuk, a cultural centre exhibiting the arts, crafts and historical records of the Western Aboriginal people .
